Endgame Strategy List

[Darkhon]

This is my biggest problem with this game.

I absolutely LOVE the starting out time. This is when I can expand into 10 or so territories and wait for my god to appear if he is sleeping, etc.

However, then I run up against Ermor or something who have 200 units in every province and I realize "OMG, I don't know how to play this game properly"

I am pretty good at most strategy games, play this only on normal difficulty AI and yet, at every turn I get ganked.

I made a nice small map with Atlantis, Ryleah and Oceania.

We had a small little island surrounded by water. I was able to beat Oceania pretty fair and square.

When I get to Ryleah though they have half the map and untold amounts of troops. There is no way I can beat them because by the time I get my troops in to take one province they will swarm me somewhere else.


I realize that sounds noobish but now multiply that by 20 when playing on a large map. I had made this VAST empire of Ermor undead and then in the endgame phase of it, it was ridiculous. We simply couldn't win because we were being attacked in every province all the time by all the remaining empires.

I tried to stay focused on building up large armies and having them for defense, and I think where I break down is in siege's, it seems they just last forever when I siege and my enemy can break my walls and crack my fortress in 2 turns.


Specific feedback about how to get past the mass hordes?
